Thanks again...useful.......think you meant www.schoolforge.org.uk/pn/....
Are all the bods listed as 'involved' actually attending?
They are all doing about half an hour each on their experiences in practical use of FLOSS. Mainly GNU/Linux desktop and servers with integration with legacy Windows. Prof David Hargreaves is the keynote Speaker and he has agreed to attend.
And who are the speakers and what are they presenting....do u have outlines or drafts of presentations yet?
The list of the speakers is the bods involved. This list is those involved in delivery actually on the day of the conference, not those organising it. The outlined topics with each speaker is what they will be talking about and hopefully generating discussion about. This is the basis of the programme that is on the flyer that is going out. One or two of the speakers might get changed. Maybe the fact that this is effectively the programme for the day needs to be more explicit but I had assumed that this was obvious. No detailed drafts yet. I didn't want to pressure people into spending a lot of time on this until the conference is sure to run. They are all volunteers so there is also a limit to how pressuring I can be.
Any ideas on what current sign up rate is and when go/no-go decision re delegates is?
I need to check with Yvonne, but its a lot better than it was and I think its still a long time before the event for some. We are past the point of no return in that if it doesn't go ahead I'll have to pay quite a bit to the LIE anyway. Its more a matter of making sure its as well attended at it can be now so I lose less money ;-).

Sorry for cross-posting again. I've added suggested aims, audience and objectives for the FLOSSIE conference to the SF-UK Wiki - just go to www/schoolforge.org.uk/pn/ and hit "Conference".
Those are just my ha'pennorth, feel free to edit/annotate them. At some point I may - what's the word? - rationalise? - the page, so we can use it in brochures, etc.

Perhaps now is a good time to go back to basics and reaffirm the objectives of this conference, the outcomes desired, the audience required, the agenda and the methods for achieving the desired results
(why should people want to go to this conference?)....
